This lovely necklace is made from amber beads in various shades paired with purple crackle quartz all wrapped up in warm copper. The focal amber piece is over 50mm wide by 30mm tall with copper and silver findings. The necklace is over 22" in length and is adjustable. The earrings are my gift to you and measure over 2 1/2" in length with 2 amber beads and a divine piece of purple crackle quartz. Earrings have a copper French hook.

I have taken AnnaLee's lead (my fellow eSMARts team leader) and considered adding a "Destash" category to my Etsy shop... began listing items tonight. Fellow jewelry artisans...feel free to check it out!!

Marketing tips:

Make customer service your top priority. This should be really obvious but sometimes it isn't. There's simply no substitute for the brand experience. If you can't win battles like delivering on time and soothing customers' ruffled feathers, you'll lose the war. Remember, the path to profitability is paved with repeat customers. There are many ways to build repeat business, but you need to lay the groundwork from the minute you start writing your business plan. The goal is to sketch out a scheme that'll create customers for life. If you can do that, you're at least halfway to ensuring your business will be around for the long haul.

Dale "Cougar" Armstrong- WIREWORK an Illustrated Guide....

It was my pleasure to receive and review this brand new book by Dale “Cougar” Armstrong, "WIREWORK An Illustrated Guide to the Art of Wire Wrapping". Dale has a unique way of inspiring her readers and to challenge them new levels (yes, I am included in this group!) I would consider this book to be for the intermediate to advanced wire artist and it is packed with tips and step by step instructions for wonderful projects that you can build on and make your own. By using Dale’s examples as a start point, you will soon be on your way to creating wonderful wearable works of art to collect or to sell.

About Me

Jewelry designer and collector- self taught from books and magazines. I continue to explore different mediums and methods. I am a life learner....love to try new things and I hope that is reflected in my work.
I believe my jewelry designing and creating balances me as I have a very analytical "day job" as a quality engineer for a flexible packaging facility in Providence RI. I enjoy my evenings with family and my art.

Our Reviews

"I don't think there's much to improve from my standpoint because I was immediately drawn in by your beautiful home-page banner after your site loaded. Then, of course, came all the gorgeous jewelry, and I love the green ice necklace. Product photos are outstanding and your descriptions are both interesting informative. I really like that you offer different chain lengths for the pendants. Your site is nicely organized as well and easy to navigate. Excellent job done here and all best wishes for lots of continued success!"
